Singin' in the Rain picture

Audio problem: When Donald O'Connor walks onto the keys of his piano at the beginning of his Make 'Em Laugh Sequence, the sound that we hear is a chord, but in reality we would hear a much more dissonant combination of notes, because several notes adjacent to each other would be played at the same time.

Summer Holiday picture

Audio problem: When Cyril is driving up the bus up the mountainside, and Don is talking to him over his shoulder about Barbara, Cyril is heard to say "Don, Bachelor boy". However this is not what the original line was, as it can be seen that he is speaking different words. The line was probably changed between filiming and recording the over dubs.

King Ralph picture

Audio problem: Apparently, Ralph's surname was changed at the last minute from the British Royal Family surname of "Windsor" to "Windham." There are several points in the film, where there is a lip-sync problem, due to the differences of the name, because it has been dubbed.
